New Flag_New Hymn for EU
| “New
Flag_New Hymn for European Union” was created for exhibition
which crowns the “Mission Europe” project. To answer
for questions of organizers of this project, I decided to design
New Flag and New Hymn for European Union. Both, New Flag and New
Hymn, are created on a base of flags and hymns of all EU members.
Naturally, when any new member will join to Eu, New Flag and New
Hymn will be also changed. Both symbols created by me will be
present in the movie form; picture = flag, sound = hymn.The movie,
except three exhibitions: Marseille, La Friche La Belle De Mai,
04-13.04.2007, Katowice, Galeria Rondo Sztuki, 24.04-04.05.2007,
Weimar, E-Werk Strassenbahndepot, 10-20.05.2007, will be also
shown in internet: www.agaszreder.pl
from 05.04.2007. |

| "Nowa
Flaga_Nowy Hymn dla Unii Europejskiej" powstały na potrzeby
wystawy wieńczącej projekt "Mission Europe". Aby odpowiedzieć
na pytania postawione przez organizatorów tego projektu, postanowiłam
zaprojektować, wspomniane już w tytule, Nową Flagę oraz Nowy Hymn
dla Unii Europejskiej. Zarówno Nowa Flaga, jak i Nowy Hymn są
stworzone na bazie flag i hymnów wszystkich dotychczasowych członków
EU. Naturalnie po każdorazowym przyjęciu do Unii Europejskiej
nowego członka, omawiane Nowa Flaga i Nowy Hymn, również ulegną
zmianie. Oba stworzone przeze mnie symbole będą przedstawione
w formie udźwiękowionego filmu; obraz = flaga, dĽwięk = hymn.
Film, poza trzema wystawami: Marseille, La Friche La Belle De
Mai, 04-13.04.2007, Katowice, Galeria Rondo Sztuki, 24.04-04.05.2007,
Weimar, E-Werk Strassenbahndepot, 10-20.05.2007, od 05.04.2007

March
1957 The Treaties establishing the European Economic Community (EEC) and the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom) are signed by the Six (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands) in Rome as of today they will be referred to as the "Treaties of Rome". |

January
1973 The six become nine when Denmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom formally enter the EU. |
